~ necklaces with silver-framed original art pendants ~
This collection consists of necklaces with pendants exhibiting my original graphic art computer-printed on canvas. One side of each pendant is one of my copyrighted jackalart© images. Manipulating a copy of the image with my computer graphics program, I create a kaleidoscopic version of the jackalart© image, and this is also printed onto canvas. The two images are placed back-to-back and sandwiched between two .03"-thick (0.9mm) panes of glass and surrounded with a .999 fine silver frame handcrafted by my husband, Louis. Louis solders a sterling silver bail onto the pendant, and it's ready for me to incorporate into a necklace.
I determine what colors, sizes, and shapes of beads I want to attend the pendants, and I make these of glass, earthenware, porcelain, or polymer clay. Sometimes I decorate my handcrafted beads with glazes, paints, or applied clays. I occasionally include stones we have collected, or commercially available stone, Swarovski® crystal, or vintage glass beads in these necklaces, and sterling silver Bali-style accents are used in all of them.
I fabricate the metal clasps and some of the decorative metal components for the necklaces, and Louis processes many of the natural stones.
Many pieces are available that are not shown on this website; details can be provided upon inquiry.
These necklaces are protected by a limited warranty.
